71 : 28

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ سَرۡمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَنۡ إِلَٰهٌ غَيۡرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأۡتِيكُم بِضِيَآءٍۚ أَفَلَا تَسۡمَعُونَ

71. Say: "Tell me, if Allāh were to make the night to continue without break over you till the Day of Resurrection, what god other than Allāh that could bring you light ^[24]? Will you not then listen?"

[24]. Darkness can be bad for us. If we spend too much time out of reach of daylight, we lose track of time, we are more likely to feel depressed and we are more prone to lose touch with reality. Scientific research shows that prolonged exposure to darkness can very quickly disrupt our internal rhythms, our sense of self and our relationship with the world around us. We are creatures of the day, and though we need darkness in order to sleep, we need light in order to live.

72 : 28

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلنَّهَارَ سَرۡمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَنۡ إِلَٰهٌ غَيۡرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأۡتِيكُم بِلَيۡلٖ تَسۡكُنُونَ فِيهِۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

72. Say: "Tell me, if Allāh were to make the day to continue without break over you until the Day of Resurrection, what god other than Allāh that could bring you the night in which you take rest ^[25]? Will you not then see?"

[25]. A good night’s sleep and rest is a priceless gift from Allāh. Healthy sleep restores strength and well-being to the human body and refreshes the mind and spirit. Sleep recreates. The Qur’an indicates that sleep is not meant only for the recuperation of a man’s body, but that there is a tremendous furtherance of spiritual and moral life during sleep and rest.
Sleep is considered a temporary withdrawal of the soul from the body, similar to the way it is taken during death. 
Waking up from sleep is seen as a form of resurrection, as the soul returns to the body.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) used to say when he wake up from the sleep, "Praise be to Allah, Who has given us life again after He has taken it, and unto Him is the Resurrection."

73 : 28

وَمِن رَّحۡمَتِهِۦ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لِتَسۡكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَلِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

73. And it is out of His mercy that He (Allāh) has made for you the night and the day, that you may rest therein, and seek of His bounty, and that you may give thanks.

74 : 28

وَيَوۡمَ يُنَادِيهِمۡ فَيَقُولُ أَيۡنَ شُرَكَآءِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمۡ تَزۡعُمُونَ

74. And (warn) the Day when He will call them and say: "Where are those whom you deemed to be My associates (in worship)?"

75 : 28

وَنَزَعۡنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ شَهِيدٗا فَقُلۡنَا هَاتُواْ بُرۡهَٰنَكُمۡ فَعَلِمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱلۡحَقَّ لِلَّهِ وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ

75. And We shall extract from every nation a witness and say (to the polytheists): "Bring your proof," then they will know that the Truth is with Allāh alone, and that which they invented (of false gods) will be lost from them.

76 : 28

۞ إِنَّ قَٰرُونَ كَانَ مِن قَوۡمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلۡكُنُوزِ مَآ إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُۥ لَتَنُوٓأُ بِٱلۡعُصۡبَةِ أُوْلِي ٱلۡقُوَّةِ إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُۥ قَوۡمُهُۥ لَا تَفۡرَحۡۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡفَرِحِينَ

76. Indeed, Qarun 'Korah' was of the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them, and We had given him of the treasures, of which the keys would have been a burden for a band of men possessors of great strength. When his people said to him: "Do not exult, Allāh does not like those who exult (in wealth and are haughty) ^[26];

[26]. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Allāh detests all the proud of heart. Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Money that makes you arrogant is poverty. The knowledge that makes you haughty is ignorance. The position that makes you mighty is
decadence. And the power that makes you tyrant is weakness. Real wealth, prestige, and knowledge are found in the humble.
The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, the most humble man, used to milk his goat and polish his shoes, and sew his dress, and race with his wife Aisha.
He wipes away the tears of his wife, Safiya.
And when his companions divided the tasks of slaughtering the sheep. One of them said, “I will slaughter it,” and the other said, “I will skin it.” The Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and exalt his mention, said: I am bringing firewood.

77 : 28

وَٱبۡتَغِ فِيمَآ ءَاتَىٰكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۖ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَأَحۡسِن كَمَآ أَحۡسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيۡكَۖ وَلَا تَبۡغِ ٱلۡفَسَادَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ

77. And seek the gains of what Allāh has given you the 'future' Home of the Hereafter. Do not neglect your portion of this world. Do good 'to others' as Allāh has done good to you. And do not seek to make corruption in the land. Indeed, Allāh does not like the corrupters.
